This month, the PriMeD Focus is:

Assessment of patients at risk of diabetic foot complications
In this unit, a brief review of epidemiology and pathophysiology is provided as background. Then a podiatrist with many years experience in this area, will describe why regular foot checks are needed and how to carry out a foot screening assessment.

The short course allows participants to collaborate with their peers within relevant case studies and provides several useful printable reference tools for future use. There is also a very valuable audio contribution from 3 women who have kindly agreed to share their antenatal experiences.
